Expect a new addition to Detroit's downtown rooftop bar scene in the Hudson's development.
State of play: Pine Hall, named after the old Hudson's department store restaurant the Pine Room, is expected to open this spring. New York City's Union Square Hospitality Group conceived the cocktail bar with a neighborhood tavern-style menu, per a news release from the restaurant group.
One cocktail will be the Final Countdown, a version of the classic Last Word.
Reality check: While a rooftop is a rooftop and a vibe is a vibe, we must note that Pine Hall will be on the 12th floor of the smaller of the two Hudson's buildings — the "block" with office space, not the 49-story skyscraper with hotel and residential units.
